Henderson, Backhouse and wartime carrier employment

How would Henderson and Backhouse surviving have affected British naval operations in World War II?

Henderson would oppose hazardous carrier deployments and insist on carrier support for a Far Eastern force, potentially preserving ships lost earlier in the war.

The counterfactual keeps Henderson and Backhouse alive into World War II, with Henderson's experience as Rear Admiral Aircraft Carriers shaping the proposed changes. He would resist sending Courageous submarine hunting without a proper air group and adequate escorts. The same objection applies to Glorious returning home with inadequate protection. Although the Third Sea Lord did not formally command operations, responsibility for preparing and making ships available gave that office influence over operational choices. A further possibility is Henderson receiving an Eastern Fleet command in place of Phillips. In this scenario, he would insist on a carrier, and avoiding earlier carrier losses would leave more ships available for that deployment.
